Chinese markets defused concerns about a global economic slowdown. The recent prime minister’s meeting with industry leaders grew investors’ confidence and supported market sentiments for the week.
In addition, after the recent sell-off, market participants bought battered stocks that have good potential. For the week-ended September 11, the Sensex jumped 408 points or 1.62 per cent to close at 25,610 while, the Nifty soared 134 points or 1.75 per cent to end at 7,790.
However, the broader markets underperformed the benchmarks. The BSE Mid-cap Index surged 161 points or 1.54 per cent to close at 10,520 and the BSE Small-cap Index rose 93 points or 0.88 per cent to finish at 10,670.
“After a difficult start to September, we have seen some resemblance of a minor recovery in the markets across the globe. However, it’s the next week that would hold the key to market trend and liquidity flows due to the US Fed meet."
"Markets are expecting a start of a road map towards hiking the interest rates by the Fed,” said Kunal Bothra, head-Advisory, LKP Securities.
“For India, the IIP data, stable inflation and fiscal deficit numbers are now good factors considered by the market, which RBI can consider for a further interest rate cut. For the next week, a closing above 7,850 spot would indicate a completion of an inverse head and shoulder pattern on the Nifty (spot). However, it’s advisable to be cautious, as volatility could be on the rise once again,” he added.
